Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of managing information technology service level agreements via a computer network, comprising: accessing, by a server, a database storing, in memory, a support ticket comprising a creation time and service level agreement, the service level agreement comprising a maximum response time; initiating, by the server via the computer network, responsive to input from a computing device, a chat session associated with the computing device and the support ticket, the initiating associated with a time stamp; determining, by the server, a compliance with the service level agreement, the compliance computed as a difference between the time stamp and the creation time being less than the maximum response time; generating, by the server, a notification of the compliance with the service level agreement; initiating, by the server via the computer network, responsive to second input from a second computing device, a second chat session associated with the second computing device, the second initiating associated with a second time stamp; and creating, by the server, a second support ticket comprising a second creation time, the second creation time equal to the second time stamp.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service level agreement further comprises a maximum resolution time, further comprising: terminating, by the server via the computer network, responsive to third input from a third computing device, the chat session, the terminating associated with a third time stamp; determining, by the server, a second compliance with the service level agreement, the second compliance computed as the difference between the third time stamp and the time stamp being less than the maximum resolution time; and generating, by the server, a second notification of the second compliance with the service level agreement.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the support ticket further comprises a status, further comprising: modifying, by the server, responsive to the terminating, the status to indicate a closed status.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: modifying, by the server, responsive to the second initiating of the second chat session, a status of the second support ticket to indicate an open status.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service level agreement further comprises a maximum resolution time and the support ticket further comprising a status, the method further comprising: modifying, by the server, responsive to third input from a third computing device, the status to indicate a closed status, the modifying associated with a third time stamp; determining, by the server, a second compliance with the service level agreement, the second compliance computed as the difference between the third time stamp and the time stamp being less than the maximum resolution time; and generating, by the server, a second notification of the second compliance with the service level agreement.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the support ticket further comprises a status, further comprising: modifying, by the server, responsive to third input from a third computing device, the status to indicate a closed status; and terminating, by the server via the computer network, responsive to the modifying, the chat session.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving, by the server from a clock, a current time as a third time stamp; determining, by the server, a warning of the service level agreement, the warning computed as the difference between the third time stamp and the creation time being more than a threshold percentage of the maximum response time; and generating, by the server, a second notification of the warning of the service level agreement.
8. A system for managing information technology service level agreements via a computer network, comprising: a server including a processor and memory configured to: access a database storing a support ticket comprising a creation time and service level agreement, the service level agreement comprising a maximum response time; initiate, via the computer network, responsive to input from a computing device, a chat session associated with the computing device and the support ticket, the initiating associated with a time stamp; determine a compliance with the service level agreement, the compliance computed as a difference between the time stamp and the creation time being less than the maximum response time; generate a notification of the compliance with the service level agreement; initiate, via the computer network, responsive to input from a second computing device, a second chat session associated with the second computing device, the second initiating associated with a second time stamp; and create a second support ticket comprising a second creation time, the second creation time equal to the second time stamp.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein: the service level agreement further comprises a maximum resolution time; and the server is further configured to: terminate, via the computer network, responsive to third input from a third computing device, the chat session, the terminating associated with a third time stamp; determine a second compliance with the service level agreement, the second compliance computed as the difference between the third time stamp and the time stamp being less than the maximum resolution time; and generate a second notification of the second compliance with the service level agreement.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein: the support ticket further comprises a status; and the server is further configured to: modify responsive to the terminating, the status to indicate a closed status.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the server is further configured to: modify, responsive to the second initiating of the second chat session, a second status to indicate an open status.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein: the service level agreement further comprises a maximum resolution time; the support ticket further comprises a status; and the server is further configured to: modify, responsive to third input from a third computing device, the status to indicate a closed status, the modifying associated with a third time stamp; determine a second compliance with the service level agreement, the second compliance computed as the difference between the third time stamp and the time stamp being less than the maximum resolution time; and generate a second notification of the second compliance with the service level agreement.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein: the support ticket further comprises a status; and the server is further configured to: modify, responsive to third input from a third computing device, the status to indicate a closed status; and terminate, via the computer network, responsive to the modifying, the chat session.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the server is further configured to: receive, from a clock, a current time as a third time stamp; determine a warning of the service level agreement, the warning computed as the difference between the third time stamp and the creation time being more than a threshold percentage of the maximum response time; and generate a second notification of the warning of the service level agreement.
